Subject: Good Vibes please

My sinus surgery is tomorrow...deviated septum. They will straighten out my nose so I can breathe clearer. I am really anxious about the whole thing. Not so worried about the surgery itself but about the IV and the anasthesia. When I called today to find out what time i had to be there I asked if there was something I could take before hand to calm me down but they said probably not unless my doctor ok'd it. Then she went on to tell me how they could numb the area WITH A NEEDLE before they put the IV in.....HELLOOOO...it's needles I'm phobic of! So now I just feel worse and am i 2 seconds from cancelling the whole thing (it's elective....I don't have to do it). So just think good thoughts and hopefully I'll tough it out and survive.

[> Hang tough, Colly. I have been IV'd many times and have always found that the worrying about it is much worse than the actual IV itself. Don't cancel your surgery! You have waited and suffered too long to not go through with it now. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. You will be just fine! -- Brenda, 16:39:10 07/07/04 Wed

[> ( ( ( COLLY ) ) ) You'll make it!! Close your eyes and you wont see the needles thats what I do at the dentist. (No, I'm not telling if it works or not ;-) -- Andrea, 13:47:33 07/08/04 Thu

[> (((((((((((Colly))))))))))))))sending you lots of healing energy, I had that operation years ago; it really helped me a lot. Visualizing you fully recovered and breathing clearly, enjoying life to the fullest! -- love, Viive, 11:20:59 07/09/04 Fri

[> Hello Viive, good to see you again. I'm back at work, but tired today and my nose is aching. I survived, though they had to tranq me once they put the IV in. No bruising or swelling, I look normal, just feel I've been dragged! I can already tell that I can breathe easier though so that's a plus. -- Colly, 12:27:04 07/12/04 Mon
